TOO MUCH RAIN IN KANSAS

When We Were Needing It So Badly In This Section. C. D. Nowels and daughter, Miss Floy Nowels, of Pareons, Kane., stopped off in Rensselaer Tuesday afternoon for a few days* visit with relatives and old friends. They had been visiting Mr. Nowels’ son, A. S. Nowels, and family at Columbia City and also relatives at Flora, Carroll county, before coming here. Mr. Nowels states that crops were very good in his section of the Sunflower state, but they had been having it very wet there and that the farmers had great difficulty in harvesting their wheat and oats on account of it being too wet to get in the fields with the binders. Too bad that we couldn’t have had a little of their rain here in northern Indiana.
